Our patented manufacturing process, known as “The Instant Pot of Cement Manufacturing,” uses water to lower production temperatures, dramatically improving energy efficiency and cutting emissions. Backed by Breakthrough Energy Fellows, ARPA-E, world-class climate investors, and strategic partners, we’re proving that sustainability can be both economically viable and globally competitive.\n Position Overview\n As a Process Technician at Queens Carbon, you will maintain, operate, and improve pilot-scale equipment and processes related to the development of novel cement and supplementary cementitious materials. In this role, you will primarily work with the Product Evaluation and Demonstration team to plan and execute scale-up campaigns, ensure and improve process reliability, and contribute to process optimization efforts. You will also work with the Engineering team to fabricate components, modify process equipment, conduct preventative maintenance, and support facility improvement projects. This role will support operation of both mini-pilot systems and an in-house pilot-scale demonstration system to validate scalable, repeatable operation.\n Roles and Responsibilities\n Safely operate and monitor pilot- and demonstration-scale process equipment in accordance with standard operating procedures (SOPs), commissioning plans, and experimental protocols.\nPrepare equipment and materials for experimental and scale-up runs, including system setup, calibration, inspection, and post-run cleaning.\nMonitor key process variables, review trends, record operating data, and respond appropriately to alarms, deviations, or abnormal conditions.\nExecute defined sampling and material handling plans, ensuring accurate labeling, traceability, documentation, and timely delivery of samples to the laboratory for characterization and quality assurance testing.\nPerform routine preventative maintenance and basic troubleshooting of mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation components to support safe, reliable operation.\nSupport the installation, shakedown, commissioning, and startup of new pilot and demonstration-scale equipment, including first-of-a-kind systems.\nMaintain clear and accurate records of equipment performance, maintenance activities, system modifications, and operational observations to support data integrity and scale-up learning.\nIdentify and communicate opportunities for process optimization, reliability improvements, and equipment or procedural enhancements, with particular attention to safety, operability, and repeatability.\nInterface with process controls systems (PLC/HMI) to monitor operating conditions, respond to alarms, and provide operational feedback to engineering teams to improve system reliability and usability.\nCollaborate closely with R&D scientists, engineers, and demonstration operations staff to translate experimental objectives and scale-up goals into executable operating plans and procedures.\nParticipate in the continuous improvement of SOPs, commissioning checklists, and operating practices as processes, equipment, and organizational capabilities evolve.\n Requirements\n The job is performed in a hands-on work environment. The employee must have the ability to sit, stand, walk and lift 35 pounds unassisted or more than 35 pounds assisted.
